'Space Hopper 2010: Travel Scheme:' was an interactive piece that questioned acceptable uses of the countryside. By encouraging people to engage in a spoof ‘leisure services’ activity – bouncing round a track on a space hopper – this humorously raised awareness of how we physically engage with ‘landscapes’. It was a fun way to get around but beneath the humour, the audience was encouraged to consider what is ‘acceptable’ behaviour in the landscape in a challenge to the hegemony of walking as the primary motive for being outdoors.
